oh go on then... here,s my thoughts....

I,m not keen on the idea of the battery/ s being so close to the tank, i know other cars (production cars ) have had them in the rear, but .......

the back end of the 7 style car has very little protection of the tank area, so this is just IMHO i,d like to keep the 2 items , tank/battery apart from eachother to minimise the risk of the 2 items causing a problem to eachother.

Also, even tho you are using the mighty V6 motor, the position of the engine is quite far back in the chassis, look at how far back it is from the "axle line" of the front wheels, so having the battery mounted centrally in the car won,t adversley affect the weight balance of the car..... IMHO of course
